Blocks of Flats Insurance
Blocks of flats insurance provides essential protection for property owners responsible for residential buildings with multiple units.
Blocks of flats present unique insurance challenges due to shared spaces, multiple occupants and legal responsibilities set out within lease agreements. Ensuring the entire building is correctly insured is essential for freeholders, landlords and managing agents.
Blocks of flats often have higher rebuild values, older construction methods or complex layouts. These factors mean standard landlord policies may not provide adequate protection.
Blocks of flats insurance is designed to protect the structure of the building and the interests of those responsible for its upkeep. It also supports compliance with lease requirements and lender conditions.

What Does Blocks of Flats Insurance Typically Cover?
Buildings insurance
Covers the physical structure of the building, including walls, roofs, floors and communal areas. Protection is provided against insured risks such as fire, flood and storm damage, helping fund repair or rebuild costs.
Property owners’ liability
Covers legal liability if a third party is injured or their property is damaged within communal areas. This can include claims from tenants, visitors or contractors.
Loss of rent cover
Covers rental income if flats become uninhabitable following insured damage. This helps protect cash flow while repairs or reinstatement work is carried out.
Alternative accommodation
Covers the cost of temporary accommodation for tenants if the property cannot be occupied. This is often required under lease agreements.
Legal expenses
Covers legal costs associated with disputes, such as tenant disagreements or contractual issues. This can help reduce unexpected legal expenses.
Terrorism
Covers damage to the building caused by acts of terrorism, which may not always be included within standard property insurance policies. This protection can help ensure repair or reinstatement costs are covered if the property is affected by such an event.
